Topic: Getting my Bowtie painted, finally.

[Al]

Well the truck is in the shop today getting a new front bumper cover (wife's fault  ) and I'm getting the bowtie painted the same color as the truck, SOM. I'll post some pics when i get it back. There are a lot of guys doing something with the front bowtie. What about the back one? I know it's more of a pain in the  to take it off, at least on the '07 (double sided tape I think).

Yes, it uses double sided tape.   Here's a tut on how to debadge from Truckin'...

Thanks BD, that doesn't seem too difficult. We'll have to see what the front looks like first.

Ive read where peeps have just taped off the whole backend and painted it on the truck also.

That looks great Al!    You did this off a rattle can?

[Al]

No way, too scared. I had to get the front bumper cover replaced so I had the shop paint the bowtie while they were at it. I kind of like it so I may have to see what I can do for the back one.

It looks very good.  I like how it blends with the powerbar

Thanks, I'm glad I left the black around the bowtie, istead of getting it painted too.

I like it.  Good idea with the black.

how much did it cost u to it painted?

A shop can paint both for way less than $100.  Depending on the color.

I painted mine with a rattle can.  Sanded, primed, paint.

I was getting the bumper cover replaced/repainted and the shop did the bowtie for $50. I should have had them do the back one. I'll have to let my wife drive it again, maybe she can damage the tailgate somehow.
